Mechanicum

"The loyalist faction was much smaller than had been guessed at by those on Terra. The loyalist forces on Mars found themselves to be massively outnumbered. In addition to the greater proportion of  tech-priests, the traitors could also upon the services of seven Titan legions. Within hours of securing the munitions factories, the loyalists were being pressed back. It was clear that they could not win this battle"

The next two weeks

Hello all, just a quick post today. Unfortunately I have had no time to do much hobbying this week do to life conspiring against me, and that fact that I am of on holiday tomorrow so packing needed to get done. I will be away for the next week and a half, but you should still get your weekly fix of resin from here (thanks to the magic of the internet). There will definalty be a post this Thursday and next Monday (hope you like mechanicum) and possibly a couple of other so keep your eyes peeled.

Ok this is the English sea side and I won't be in the UK though but you get the idea

Have a good week guys and I'll see you all in the near future, happy hobbying

Emperors Children

"Captain Saul Tarvitz, last loyal officer of the Emperor's Children, surveyed the grim tableau before him. He stood amidst the ruins of  a once magnificent city. It's name had died with those who had built and lived within its fabulous palaces and marbled halls. Now it was little more than a heap of rubble"

Updates - Changes and Distraction

So some things are going to be changing on here for a while. Basically I have got a little bored of my Space Wolves. I've been painting space wolves since they were re-released for 40K in 2009 and I now want a little change, a) to paint something different and b) to push my painting skills further.

Death Guard Legion Glaive Built

Hi guys,

One of the highlights of going to the Forge World Open Day, along with the awesome displays and meeting the designers, was getting myself the mighty Legion Glaive for my growing Death Guard army.

They packaged all the large kits in cardboard boxes at the event, as in the past they would just give you all the parts in a plastic bag. It shows they are placing more importance on packaging and product quality which is good to see.

Space Wolves Showcase

Finally the Sons of Russ get their own showcase! I have got enough squads finished now that I can field a legal army with no proxies, so I thought it was time to showcase them to all of you. There really won't be very much talking in this blog as it's mainly a showcase.

A couple of thoughts on play

So I recently had a couple of games with my force against another 30k army (in this case Sons of Horus) and I thought that I would write down some thoughts on how the game went and how some of the units performed. 

Forge World Open Day

So a lot of you Forge World junkies will know that it was the open day at warhammer world yesterday, and I was lucky enough to attend. Now I know there are plenty of blogs out there with loads more content than what I will show (e.g. Battle Bunnies) but I just want to give my thoughts on some bits and pieces.

Emperors Children Showcase

By Russ's beard! These other legions are just taking over! This week we have a beautiful Emperors Children force painted by Søren Westborg. I found these posted on the Horus Heresy facebook page (go and join if you haven't already) and decided that these must be showcased. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did
